crown cares for kids program

program overview

Crown Cares For Kids is a program that provides eligible children through the age of 14 with an eye exam, frames and lenses free of charge. The program was created in January of 1997 in response to changes in Medicaid that caused some children to lose their benefits, and also simply as a way to give back to the greater St. Louis community. To date, Crown Vision Center has helped over 1,700 children through the Crown Cares program.
